MMO trailers are always misleading
They succeed in getting you hyped for a product, but they're never really close to being representative to the game they are promoting.

Welcome to bizarre-o-world
After months of slagging off various PlayStation shooters, and tipping the upcoming Bodycount as the next big-thing, Codemasters has confirmed that Stuart Black - the dude behind the PS2 shooter Black - will be leaving the company in October. Bodycount, which was seen by many as a spiritual successor to Black, will not...
News Guerrilla To Fix "Controller Lag" Complaints With Killzone 3
When Killzone 2 launched, there was a bit of an uproar
The game didn't control exactly like a Call Of Duty, and as such, many deemed it sluggish. It wasn't, it was just a bit different. Given the number of complaints however, Guerrilla's had to go back to the drawing board with Killzone 3. Their challenge? Creating something that satisfies the...
News Killzone 3's Load Times Are Non-Existent, Claim Guerrilla
Guerrilla Games are an unbelievable power-house
Their upcoming PlayStation 3 title, Killzone 3, will basically support the suite of everything Sony has to offer. PlayStation Move, 3D, cutting-edge visuals, yadda yadda yadda. Guerrilla's now also claiming that they've removed load-times. Guerrilla's Steven Ter Heide told AusGamers that loading...
News Licensed, Genuinely Good Family Games Fill-Up The UK Sales Charts
What do Toy Story 3 and LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 have in common? They're both surprisingly good licensed games, designed with families in mind
Yup. They're also both sitting amongst a heap of familiar software in the UK sales top ten. Somehow, the desperately disappointing XBOX 360 exclusive, Crackdown 2, is sitting atop the sales charts. That's...
News Ruh-Roh: Call Of Duty To Implement Subscription Fee?
Ruh-roh? Do you like Call Of Duty? Chances are you probably do
Well get ready to pay for it, because those rumours about Activision prepping a separate subscription fee for Call Of Duty's multiplayer may have just been turned up a notch. A video (embedded after the jump) posted by a 360Junkies member clearly shows some form of subscription model...
News Welcome To The Party: Tarsier Studios Join SCE First-Party
Just when you thought Sony's first-party couldn't possibly get any stronger (with the exception of Quantic Dream and Clap Hanz perhaps); Tarsier Studios - developers of the PSN version of Rag Doll Kung Fu - has just announced that they've joined Sony's first-party
The company announced on their website: Tarsier Studios has signed an exclusive...
News Lara Croft & The Guardian Of Light Goes XBOX 360 Exclusive... For A Few Weeks
Don't sweat it
Lara Croft & The Guardian Of Light may be going XBOX 360 exclusive... But it's only for a few weeks. Four to be precise.

News Sony Limiting The Use Of 1080p In 3D Games
You can count the number of games that fully utilise the full 1080p resolution on a couple of hands
Gran Turismo 5, Wipeout HD... Erm... Exactly. So it's no surprise to hear Sony's senior development manager, Simon Benson, declare that the company are capping 3D gaming on PS3 at a screen resolution of 720p. According to Benson, who spoke at the...
News Sony: PlayStation 3 Retail Shortages "Resolved"
Just a quick heads-up really -- Sony's issued a statement alongside last week's June NPD report noting that the PlayStation 3 hardware stock shortages are now resolved
PS3's have been pretty thin on the ground for the past few months, but apparently, now they are not. That's all there is to say in honesty — no reason was given for the resolution,...
News Introducing James Bond 007: Blood Stone, All-Racing, All-Shooting Action From Bizarre Creations
If ever we had a weakness, file it under James Bond games
We were probably the only publication who genuinely loved (and played to death) the last James Bond game, Quantum Of Solace. So good. Perhaps then, our excitement for James Bond 007: Blood Stone should be tempered a little. GoldenEye aside, Bond games aren't traditionally good. But they are...

There are a whopping 108 musicians/bands/producers taking part. Rather than us sitting here typing a load of waffle, allow us to just pick out some of the listed artists that take our fancy: Basement Jaxx, Chic, Lady GaGa, Metallica, M.I.A., Stevie Wonder,...
News If You Hadn't Seen It Already, This Is What Hulu Plus Is Like On The PlayStation 3...
A preview for Hulu Plus launched on the PlayStation 3 this week, despite a number of stipulations
(Yeah, you should probably click that last link). Anyway, if you've any interest at all in PlayStation's TV streaming service, TechThrow's put together a pretty comprehensive look at the new preview app. It's all rather swish and what-not.
News ModNation Racers Goes Casual Friendly (If You Can't Hack The Homing Rockets)
Apparently some people aren't very good at ModNation Racers or something
We see them lamenting the single-player career a fair bit across the Internet. United Front's taken note, as they've posted on the PlayStation Blog that there's to be a new "Casual" friendly difficulty mode added to the racer's main campaign. Apparently it will make...
News CryEngine 3 Licensed For PlayStation 3 Arena Shooter, Nexuiz
You know Crytek's new engine majig, CryEngine 3, that's running the particularly pretty Crysis 2? Well, there's hope that the pretty little video game tech will end up replacing the current off-the-shelf standard, the Unreal Engine
At least, there's hope from our corner, because we think Epic's engine looks like smeared turds up the bathroom wall...
